10 Facts About Donald Trump You Didn't Know
Donald Trump is one of the least popular presidents in American history—if not the most unpopular of all time. Though his policies are controversial and downright cruel at times, it's hard to deny that Donald Trump has definitely become one of the most unusual people to steal the spotlight of American politics.

What Does Trump's Fuel Economy Mean for the Environment?
Donald Trump recently set out a plan to roll back on the fuel economy standards that the Obama administration previously put into place to make emissions standards stricter, and, in turn, decrease greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Trump’s fuel economy is a more lenient approach which will take apart the clean air act, dismantle environmental groups’ efforts nationwide, and cause public health to plummet. Overall, this change of legislation is going to take our nation backwards in many ways and cause havoc on the environment which is already in major distress. Here are the specific ways in which fuel economy standards will fall and the environment will suffer from Trump’s policy change.

Dear Donald, Your attacks on the media not only make people worried and mistrusting of the news, but also lend itself to an authoritarian regime that cannot take criticism or complaint. Your insistence that all criticism is wrong and your inability to tolerate it whether anonymous or otherwise does not befit a man who is holding the office of the President of the United States.
The Blood on Trump's Hands
There is no end to the amount of suffering that is being perpetrated against the world by virtue of giving so much power to someone as undeserving as Donald Trump. The man has been coasting his entire existence on social privilege and wealth, using it primarily to better his own life at the expense of others.

President Donald Trump’s border wall will be a threat towards as many as 111 species of endangered animals. As Trump continues his presidency, his plans to build a wall along the Mexican border are not only affecting illegal immigrants crossing into the United States, it also puts many animals at risk. It is important Trump considers these species, not simply immigration in the United States. These species share the land with humans.

BRYCE ON POLITICS - You betcha. Click for AUDIO VERSION. In defiance of President Trump, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo recently declared, "America was never that great," an unfortunate comment which will cost him points politically. Even his father, former NY Governor Mario Cuomo, would have trouble swallowing it as he was well known for his stories of his family's humble beginnings as Italian immigrants, that America was indeed the "land of opportunity." The declaration made by today's governor is in keeping with the left's position that the country is desperately in need of a makeover, and certainly not in keeping with President Trump's policies.
Dear Donald
Dear Donald, Were you always like this? There must have been a time when you were like me, believed that most people are good at heart. That humans have a natural instinct to help other people. It seems you’ve gotten off track... or do I need to get on track? I know this world is harsh, but I really didn’t think people were all for themselves. Maybe you gotta be. I’ve questioned a lot the past few years and gone through things that made me rethink the very deep moral code that was instilled in me at a young age. I had to believe that good people are abundant and bad people are just good ones who probably got burned one too many times. Is it human nature to be resilient and roll with the punches? Or is it smarter to protect yourself no matter the cost and no matter how far down it pushes down as stranger? I wonder how far I’ll get on merely kindness and forgiveness. Sometimes I get angry at those who’ve oppressed me and want to oppress anyone who could be a threat to my happiness by simply caring only about what I need. Survival of the fittest has shaped our planet, has it not? But every time I show no mercy, I hear a voice in my head. It’s an instinct more powerful than the love of power itself. It’s subconscious sometimes and I feel the effects in ways I can’t describe, but I feel it take priority in every decision I make. Maybe it’s love, or grace, or altruism. It’s a knowing deep down the difference between the cheap easy and ultimately wrong way to act and the good and right thing to do.
The Donald
Donald Trump, our 45th and current president of these United States of America, is not exactly the most popular president we have had. Sure, he has tons of followers. A very large amount, in fact. But is he really making America great again? He has a long list of bad press and comments made that reflect poorly on his leadership skills and persona as a President.

My intuition told me that you are the best candidate the first time you showed on the public for the Presidential campaign. You are deemed to be different from other former U.S. presidents if you would be, as I thought then.

A Ukrainian Scenario There is a chance that certain people could be planning a coup to unseat both President Trump of the United States and President Putin of the Russian Federation sometime in the near future. The way these coups could unfurl would be similar to what happened with Ukraine's last legitimate President, Victor Yanukovich, in February 2014.

So apparently, the President has just become Dr. Trump because he's diagnosing the media and all of his critics with "Trump Derangement Syndrome." The symptoms as I can best describe them would be something like this:
J. P. FrattiniPublished 6 years ago in The SwampTrump's Faux Pas
As Trump's Presidency has unfolded, I watched and continue to watch and read about the distress the divide his Presidency has deepened in America. Or as some say, 'Murica.' I have also read as quite a few of his voters lamented, during news interviews, about their choice to vote for him. Why would they? Just because of his promises about improving healthcare, his promises of beating job losses abroad, and they all became broken promises as their hometowns continue to suffer the tariff wars. Never mind that so many white American women have become too comfortable in smacking innocent teenage black boys at public swimming pools or calling the police when a black family is innocently barbecuing. For me, President Trump is like every kid who bullied me as a kid, who taunted me with racist slurs, the men who sexually harassed me later, and even still do today, and who feel a sense of entitlement that turns ugly at my rejection; they are all rolled up into one guy who has been voted into the President's office. Fortunately, the #MeToo movement has come a long way in such a short time. Ebony Magazine did an interview with Tarana Burke, who founded #MeToo for her movement in 2007 to reach sexual assault survivors in underprivileged communities. Since Alyssa Milano has brought a light to the catchphrase, now it's EVERYWHERE! All are survivors of sexual harassment and abuse. Otherwise, I never even would have heard of it, or its roots! Right on, to both women! Sadly, most people forgot who Donald Trump is.
